Try it if you travel to Germany.
 
After an absence of about 6, possibly 7, years, cherry coke is back on the shelves of Slovak supermarkets. The full fat one. (It's a UK expression)

My diet has actually changed so much for the better in that time and I do still really having a drink of it as a treat, but it is quite noticeable that I now find it very sickly and feel the negative effects of it getting in the way of my improved diet. Has anyone else's pallette changed over time as an adult, even if you still like the drink?

I used to chug pop like it was water. After getting off of it to reduce my sugar intake a few years ago, I now don’t enjoy it all that much. Occasionally I’ll have a Coke with a McDonald’s, but that’s rare itself.

I pick up a Dr Pepper once in a while, but they’re only in stock about once every six months. I do really enjoy the flavour but the pop itself doesn’t make me feel great.
 
Soft drinks in general are a rare treat but even then I try sticking with sugar free variants, unless it's bottled root beer whenever I've been stateside which almost always uses cane sugar.

UK corner shops meanwhile are stocking more imported drinks than ever, including all sorts of limited edition flavours I've occasionally sampled. So far only one has been a revelation:

Went in expecting some vile concoction but ended up finding the best Dr Pepper flavour. Apologies to coconut haters but this combo just works.
 
Maybe you could order some Faygo at Amazon or on Walmart's website. I know they have Faygo and other orange drinks. Have you tried those options yet?

I know which local stores to go to to get Faygo. It’s just that particular store didn’t have it on that day.
